Life of a life

when does one life die I wonder? many say their memories keep them alive noone dies unless forgotten I say they die when they're six foot under memories are the way we choose to see them and what then, after life passes us by? will we distort their memory in our image? bahh! blasphemy. memories are what we humans choose to believe and remember. you're not really keeping them alive, just honoring honoring and saving their face a person has every second of life to live be they grieving, hateful, at peace and so on they have a choice, to live or wait for the reapers scythe to cut the thin thread of their life so, when does one life die? when you're six foot under, lifeless.
